BRANDY ON PHOTO SHOOT WITH ;-YRB MAGAZINE

R&B diva Brandy is no longer a teenager. She’s officially shedding the good girl image with a shoot in YRB Magazine. For the magazine, Brandy goes avant-garde with a new short haircut and some oddball fashions. Those elements came together to make Brandy look sexy, which isn’t a look we’ve really seen from the former child star. Along with the photo shoot for YRB, she also talked to the magazine about her upcoming album, Two Eleven.

Two Eleven was chosen as the name of the project to represent the day of Brandy’s birthday and as a way to honor Whitney Houston who passed on that date. Part of the anticipation of the album is a collaboration between Brandy and Frank Ocean. When asked about Ocean’s contribution, Brandy said, “His music speaks volumes, and I was able to experience that before everyone else knew. I always knew he was really special and I just wanted to see how we could vibe, what we could come up with together in the studio this time around. He’s just a genius. I think his songs have so much substance and so much depth, and you need that on an album as well.”
